Favourite activities in Vienna: present tense, 'gern', inversion

SSC [g] at the end of a word is pronounced as in 'Berg', or at the start or middle as in 'Berge'. Most German verbs follow a regular pattern in the present tense; others change their vowel for ‘du’ and ‘er, sie, es’. Gern is an adverb meaning 'gladly' and expresses likes, and dislikes when preceded by ‘nicht’. In German, the verb is always the second idea in a sentence, whether the subject or another element starts the sentence. Any sentence element can be emphasised by using word order two (WO2), e.g., adverb - verb - subject - noun.
